Rick Perry Points Out Disappointing Position of Pro-Abortion Texas Democrat

Jun. 27, 2013

Texas Governor Rick Perry has called for a special legislative session in the Lone Star state next week after a bill banning abortions after five months was blocked Tuesday by Democrat Wendy Davis through a 13-hour filibuster. Naturally, organizations like NARAL, Planned Parenthood and Moveon.org have classified Davis as a "hero" and staunch defender of women's rights.

Davis is the daughter of a single mother and the mother of a daughter she had when she was a teenager. Perry pointed out the disappointment in Davis' support for late term abortion considering her background at the National Right to Life Convention Thursday.

“She was the daughter of single woman, she was a teenage mother herself,” Perry said today at the National Right to Life Convention in Dallas. “She managed to eventually graduate from Harvard Law School and serve in the Texas Senate.

“It’s just unfortunate that she hasn’t learned from her own example that every life must be given a chance to realize its full potential and that every life matters.”
